Описание книги

It's an age-old question: is it nature or nurture? Can there really be a 'demon seed' that causes serial killers to act the way they do? Or is it an unfortunate combination of influences and events during their formative years that has turned them into such monsters? But no matter how many people they have killed, no matter how many lives they have ruined and whatever the nature of their sickening crimes, serial killers are still human. Analysing the early years of the lives of men like Jeffrey Dahmer, who abused and killed 17 young men, offers a fascinating insight into the effects of a dysfunctional or abusive childhood. Criminologists Christopher Berry-Dee and Steven Morris have spoken and corresponded with killers all over the world in a quest to discover what made them the way they are. For the first time, the inner workings of the minds of the most destructive individuals on the planet are revealed in shocking detail. Born Killers shows, through a sophisticated system of psychological profiling, how the potential serial killer develops. Read it and you too may be able to spot the signs…

World-respected geneticist Dr Arthur Robinson once screened 40,000 newborns for XYY, and he has claimed that about 2000 XYY males are born in the US each year. His research shows that two-thirds are thin, tall and awkward, with an IQ range of 80–140. Dr Robinson says: ‘these people are excitable, easily distracted, hyperactive, and intolerant of frustration. Fifty per cent are learning disabled (compared to 2–8 per cent in the general population) and most suffer delays in speech development.’ Many of these personality characteristics uncannily match Shawcross’s profile.

Dr Kraus has commented: ‘Studies report that the XYY male has a ten- to twenty-fold increase in his lifetime risk as compared to their incidence in the population of being institutionalised in a mental hospital or prison – a risk that is not trivial. XYY males have a much higher average rate of learning disability and are described as “problem children” who cause serious behavioural and management problems at home and school. Studies describe how at least some XYY boys show behavioural disability that makes them not only a great problem in family management, but also quite disparate from other family members in their behaviour altogether.’ This is a finding consistent with the early life history of Arthur Shawcross and his own frequently-reported belief that he was ‘different’ from the rest of his family members.
